A baby carrier includes chest straps, a waist belt, and a carrier bag mounted to the chest straps and the waist belt. The carrier bag has a front piece, with a lower portion of the front piece being connected to the waist belt. A connection between the chest straps is adapted to be achieved by an element, and a second part of the respective chest strap is connected to a middle portion of the front piece so as to permit the baby carrier to be rotated around an upper part of the body of a wearer. During one step of the rotation of the baby carrier, the element extends over one shoulder of the wearer and carries the weight which in the normal case is carried by the chest straps.

A backrest adjusting mechanism disposed between a backrest tube and a frame of an infant carrier is disclosed. The backrest adjusting mechanism includes an outer cover, an inner cover, a driving member, a locking member, and an operating member. The outer cover is fixed at the frame. The inner cover is connected to the backrest tube and pivoted to the outer cover via a pivot shaft. The driving member is movably disposed between the outer cover and the inner cover. The locking member is movably disposed on the driving member. The operating member is connected to the driving member for driving the driving member to move between a first position and a second position. Switching of the driving member between the first position and the second position drives the locking member to selectively lock or release the outer cover and the inner cover.

Disclosed is a travel bed comprising a bottom support, a upper surrounding frame, stand rods and fixing bases. The upper surrounding frame comprises a first surrounding rod and a second surrounding rod which are rotatably connected with a first connector. The first surrounding rod comprises a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod which are connected with a second connector, and the second surrounding rod comprises a third connecting rod and a fourth connecting rod which are connected with a third connector. The upper surrounding frame further comprises a first locking device for locking the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, and a second locking device for locking the third connecting rod and the fourth connecting rod. The first locking device is linked with the second locking device via a hauling rope.

A carrying device includes an accommodating body for a baby/infant, wherein the accommodating body has an inner side and an outer side and is designed such that at least one region of a rear side of a baby/infant can be accommodated and/or supported in the accommodating body. The device has a harness system for fastening the accommodating body on a person. The accommodating body has a central part with upper and lower ends, left-hand and right-hand side edges, and left-hand and right-hand cloth bands. In a region of the upper end, the central part has a left-hand pull-through channel, through which the left-hand cloth band is guided, and a right-hand pull-through channel, through which the right-hand cloth band is guided. The region of the upper end of the central part is mounted for displacement along the left- and right-hand cloth bands by way of the left- and right-hand pull-through channels.

A child carrier having a waist belt attached to a bottom support of the child carrier, where the waist belt is adjustable from a first position along the bottom support to a second position along the bottom support, thereby to change the size of the seat formed in the child carrier, and to facilitate carrying of different sizes of children in an ergonomically safe way. The child carrier may also be used in an ergonomically safe way, for children of specific sizes, when the waits belt is fully detached from the bottom support.

An upper body garment for supporting an infant adjacent the chest and upper belly of a wearer that includes a tubular garment body made from a stretchable fabric and comprising a front panel and a back panel, one or more breast panels extending from a top portion of the back panel and over the shoulders of the wearer; and a pouch panel extending from a lower portion of the breast panels. The pouch panel is secured along a U-shaped seam to an inside surface of the front panel to form a pouch with a top opening proximate the lower portion of the breast panels. The stretchable fabric is a two-way stretchable fabric with an increased capability for elastic expansion within a substantially horizontal plane when the wearer is in an upright position.

A waistless baby carrier is described, which beneficially includes multiple positions for carrying a baby, including on the caregiver's chest or on the caregiver's back. The carrier may include one or more closures on each side to allow the sides of the carrier to be selectively at least partially closed so the carrier may be safely used with a small infant.

An ergonomic infant carrier comprises a contoured shell having a non-planar base and contiguous perimeter side wall upstanding from the base. At least one carrying strap which is attached or attachable to the contoured shell is also provided. The base includes a bottom portion, a head portion extending from a first end of the bottom portion, and a foot portion extending from a second end of the bottom portion opposite the first end. The head and foot portions extend upwardly from the bottom portion to meet the side wall, and the bottom portion has a width which is less than that of the head and foot portions. The reduced width enables the side wall to define a waisted portion partway along the longitudinal extent of the infant carrier to accommodate a side of a carer. A method of preparing an ergonomic infant carrier is also provided.
